Survivor's Tale: American Caver's Harrowing Rescue from Turkish Cave

American cave explorer Mark Dickey, who was rescued from a Turkish cave after being trapped for over a week, revealed that he feared he wouldn't make it out alive. Dickey suffered from gastrointestinal bleeding and was unable to exit the cave on his own. His fiancée, Jessica Van Ord, aided in his rescue by climbing nearly 3,300 feet to retrieve necessary fluids. The operation involved over 150 rescuers and was described as one of the largest and most complex cave rescues in the world. Dickey is now recovering in a hospital and feeling much better.
